And the inside of the case...
It is a Parlophone Parvus portable gramophone. Or the remains of one; well, it looks bad, but it's pretty much complete and the spring and diaphragm appear to be fine. Not a lot of information about this particular type online, but I'd guess it is from the early 30-ies. Underneath the turntable the outline of the original label with the quality sign-offs and dates can still be seen, the label is however long gone.
Needs work, i.e. project :)
Already underway, taken apart completely and started cleaning.
I can tell it will be worth the effort. Good luck with the project.
